San Diego Surf Forecast 🌡️
Week of April 20th
Gavin Bechtold
April 20, 2025
Welcome to this week’s edition of The Sunday Stoke! Where every day is Earth Day 🌎️ because surfers love the Ocean!
On tap this week 💧Small leftovers Monday/Tuesday if you are itching to get out or go longboarding. Expect a shot of SW swell late week for fun conditions, mainly in far North county SD ⬆️
Blue = Poor | Green = Average | Orange = Good
North County Report 🌊
Report powered by Surfline Premium. Spot Check: Swamis
Best Bet ✅ Fresh SW swell peaks on Thursday. If you can surf anywhere in Oceanside, it should be fun.
Worst Bet ❌ Early week Monday/Tuesday will be a bit small.
South County Report 🌊
Report powered by Surfline Premium. Spot Check: Blacks
Best Bet ✅ Swell creeping back up on Sunday for Southern exposures.
Worst Bet ❌ Friday/Saturday winds look the most questionable at this point. Mornings should have a small window but it won’t last long.
Wave Recommendations 🎯
The best places to cozy up this week will be beach breaks.

Did you Know? 🌎️
The towering waves at Black’s Beach owe their size to the underwater Scripps Submarine Canyon. This deep, steep-sided trench funnels and focuses incoming ocean swells, amplifying their energy and creating some of the most powerful surf in San Diego. It's a natural wave amplifier beneath the sea! 🌊
